The 'estimated' revenue numbers posted were pretty hilarious. Reminds me of that one time, I got cornered in Andorra World Cup while eating breakfast, by a certain top american DH guy's agent/mentor/preacher...I was in a contract negotiation with said rider during my time for a gear brand I worked for in that moment, dude says "listen man, we're just trying to get ____ his share of the billions you guys are making".....I literally spit out my Muesli while laughing. So yeah, estimates....funny.

I have a real hard time believing AI is going to result in some sort of utopia for the masses. There's enough money right now that we could all get some level of UBI and be working less and spending more time on our passion projects. But when have the ultra wealthy EVER wanted to part with even a little bit more of their money? If we just give them a few more tax breaks to pay for their data centers and help subsidize the cost of the electricity and water to run them so they can become trillionaires, THEN...

Late stage American capitalism. Why design, innovate, or disrupt when you can own and do nothing?

Occam's razor strikes again. The private 'non-traditional' school was a huge tell but... Ya know ya try not to be judgemental but the reality comes to light regardless. Kids don't just start business ventures for millions of dollars randomly. Hell most average kids are struggling to do the standard college to job transition nowadays. Well hope that guy prayed for his 100k back or somethin...

The drag on skis or a snowboard is way lower than on a bikes tires. Mechanically, you are melting a tiny bit of snow with the base of your skis/board and creating a slip plane that you then slide across. Whereas bike tires are attempting to dig into the ground lol.

I feel you, but some hardtails are legitimately comfortable (when reframed as gravel bikes…) speci Fuse is stiff and sucks, epic hardtail is compliant and feels so good to ride. im telling you guys, the majority of the gravel segment has never tried a mtb (thinks they don’t need one, overbiked, etc.) or doesn’t even need a “gravel bike” (just needs a road bike with 38s and lower gearing.) the gravel category exists because people think road bikes can’t have 45c tires and also that mountain bikes are silly and unnecessary for singletrack. What we see in practice though is...

I know that today courses with alot of flow and huge jumps are the thing but I would love to see an all natural track come back. 2009 and 2010 Gravity East Series courses at Whiteface where winning pro time was 7+ minutes. Ask Neko how taxing these courses were! No machine work needed!

It used to be the sickest park on the east coast

This is the funny thing about whiteface. It is owned and run by the state, so its simplify the state choosing to ignore another part of the state. It won't get canceled. Some people will be angry, maybe a lawsuit will get filed. The stuff on the open ski runs will get pushed flat again so they can groom and they will argue about it again next year.
